Apply for a Dog – FULL APPLICATION

Apply for a Dog

Therapetics Service Dogs are trained to perform a variety of tasks to increase one’s independence, assist with daily tasks, and reduce reliance on other people. 

The application and approval process takes an investment of time as there are several steps to complete.

  1. Request an application package by contacting the office or by filling out the form below.
  2. Complete your application package and return it to Therapetics.
  3. All applicants who meet our basic requirements are interviewed by our Client Selection Committee.  This is a group of dedicated health care professionals with a passion for improving the lives of those with disabilities by facilitating their partnership with a service dog.
  4. Following the interview the Client Selection Committee will make a final determination. If an applicant is approved for a service dog they are then partnered with the appropriate dog as soon as possible.

Our waitlist is currently 2-3 years. Please keep this in mind as you apply. We will hold your application on file until a Service Dog in Training matches your need.

Applicants that receive a service dog must participate in team training in Tulsa, OK. This training requires several weeks.

Please note, Therapetics only trains and places Service Dogs for veterans diagnosed with PTSD and individuals living with physical disabilities that limit their mobility. Our service area is limited to the state of Oklahoma. We are able to provide referral information for other types of service dogs as well as for individuals living out of state.
